About this deal

Please note that On Jog Display, Jog Cutter, Sample Scratch, Scratch Bank, and Plug and Play compatibility are not available in TRAKTOR PRO 3. Beyond the basics like play and cue buttons, the DDJ-FLX6 has a decent assortment of deck controls alongside its performance pads. The graphite grey finish does look nice (though it’s a lighter color in person than in photos), and the jog wheels have a new rubberized finish. The DDJ-FLX6 has two really powerful features to help DJs jump from one BPM range to another Merge FX and the Jog Cutter. Automating loops, changing BPMs and applying effects in the process, the Merge FX remains active until the DJ presses the central button again to release the effect.

Sample Scratch relies on Rekordbox’s usual sample bank and sadly offers less options than Serato’s Scratch bank. The unit is bus powered and, when connected over USB, it will unlock whichever included software platform you choose. As for Traktor, there is literally a two-page guide on how to get this working, and it was not exactly intuitive. There are four channels at play, so ultimately tracks can be played on decks 1 and 2 whilst scratching can be on 3 and 4. There are ten scratch patterns to select and can be switched by moving the play head position displayed on the jog wheels on-jog display.The FLX-6 shows its colors as a home-oriented controller with its I/O selection: a single pair of RCA master outs, a second pair of RCA booth outs, and a single ¼ inch microphone jack with attenuator control.

Although similar in appearance to the CDJ units, these jog wheels are capacitive rather than mechanical. The large jog wheels with a new rubberised finish on the outer ring make pitch bending and scratching feel natural, and with the On Jog Display, you can keep an eye on the playhead position.VirtualDJ is compatible with the updated unit (licenses available separately), which also offers free use of the rekordbox Core plan and Serato DJ Pro.

Others will miss the benefits of more power, such as balanced audio connections and brighter RGB performance pads.

The layout of the controls on the DDJ-FLX6 is similar to that on our club-standard CDJ + DJM setup, so you can perform intuitively.

All these features are combined in a compact design making the DM-50D the perfect match for DJing, producing and simply enjoying music at home.When you get into the non-rekordbox software packages, “Merge FX” don’t really exist, so they try to offer an approximation. Press it to engage the effect, turn it to alter the speed to add tension to the music, and press the knob again to release the effect.
